"Adamo" are Andrew Adams and Erika Gilfether. The heart of this partnership lies in the continuing quest to infuse the traditional circus apparatus of "aerial straps" with a contemporary dance sensuality. The couple also performs adagio, aerial silks and Andrew Juggles .
Their work together has led to performances in Italy, Germany, and New York. They have received their training in London at The Circus Space, and in Montreal with Debra Brown and Sam Alvarez. They have just appeared with the Lyric Opera of Chicago in Wagner's Ring-Cycle Erika as the Bungee Rheinmaiden and Andrew as a tramp lining Vlakyrie.
Audiences in venues as diverse as dinner cabarets (Teatro Zinzannni, San Fransisco) Opera house (Lyric Opera of Chicago), theatres (Pendulum Aerial Dance Theatre), rock concerts (Unphrey's Mcgee, Victor Wooten) and corporate conventions (Navy Pier, McCormick Place, Chicago) have all responded to the athletic artistry, aerial romance, and intimate connection expressed in the work of Andrew Adams & Erika Gilfether.
